Participants had their eyes on their watches to check their times and beat their previous achievements, while others wanted to walk for fun.
Padi Abendroth, a regular parkrun participant, said, “I started parkrun in 2017; my son introduced me to the sport in Durban. It was not always easy because there was Covid-19, and then I had colon cancer, which has returned, but I remain strong.”

Abendroth added that May 2 marked her 211th parkrun, and not only did she do that, but also participated in the Midmar Mile, cycled, and played squash.
